RE: Telephone meeting between attorney, Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna and Mr. Paul Baurer, the Legislative Correspondent for Congressman Robert Andrews, spoke regarding the support "to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for the admission to the United States for permanent residence without numerical limitation of spouses of permanent resident aliens." (Bill
# H.R. 539).

Mr. Khanna spoke with Mr. Baurer, who has agreed to assist us in our grassroots campaign.
Mr. Baurer advised us to do the following:

1. Prepare a petition that only consist of signatures of individuals
supporting the H.R. 539 Bill, based on their respective Congressional District. He believes that this would have a greater impact and would more likely get the attention of the individual Congress members, as it can prove that there are many individuals in their District concerned about this issue.

2. Muster the support of the members of the Sub-Committee: Currently, the H.R. 539 is in the Sub-Committee for review, and therefore, it would be better to contact these members and do our best to have them support the H.R. 539 Bill. Mr. Baurer will provide our office with a list of the members in the Sub-Committee.

In conclusion, Mr. Baurer said that we may not have the necessary support in the current 108th Congress for the H.R. 539 Bill. However, we should continue to do our best to lobby the Congressional members, so that it may be passed in the 109th Congress next year. He strongly emphasized the importance of constituents in meeting with their local Congress members, to
gain support for H.R. 539 Bill.


Thank you,
Homa

Unless immigrants follow the example of Cuban 'n Mexican

immigrant citizens should take that extra step to advance
towards the US Senate/House, unfortunately not many pursue
such thinking...granted it ain't no walk in thee park, but it's
worth every penny invested.

We need to attack the air waves to make any kinda impact
on US politics especially when it comes to immigration....
counter the right wing red neck racist radio hosts 'n
the illogical concept of homeland...whatever, if this doesn't
happen soon most'ef us will bite the dust....probably
soon. This is a funny land with funny rules, America has a
symbiotic relationship with immigration, rules might change but
this land will see immigrants of different forms 'n shapes, who
knows life out their in the universe might be heading towards
the United States to immigrate....I pity the small stupid lookin'
people, 'cause am sure they won't have the patience the US
govt. has injected into me.....am ready for your experiments
now small dood...come embrace my knee....wher' hast thou
been?

Oh we are already planning (and have started). It would be our fondest hope to bring well meaning people (without agendans of their own) together and carry forward an effort of immigration reform and "watchdogging" over the bubbas of this world. Workin on it.
 
Contacted Congressman John Conyers's office

Date: Tuesday, June 10th, 2003

RE: Telephone meeting between attorney, Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna and Ms. Kristin Wells from Congressman John Conyers's office, spoke regarding how to make changes in improving the existing
V Visa.

Mr. Khanna spoke with Ms. Wells, who advised us to do the following:

1. Prepare and provide a "Position paper" to members of Congress, in hopes to (1.) seek the willingness of a member to sponsor a Bill and (2.) to gain support on our cause.

2. Seek assistances from other advocacy groups, such as AILA.


In conclusion, Ms. Wells requested that we provide her office with written materials on the subject, and after reviewing and discussing it with their office, Congressman Conyers's office may consider to becoming the sponsor of the Bill. She ended with saying that this process "Can take a long time, but you never know".
 
Thanks Homa, "ECGC" - Jerome Scott should be contacting you regards 485 delays soon. :)

I cannot put in words how much I appreciate your effots.
